Multi
disciplinary collage from a mix of ideas taken from portraiture, landscape, folklore and
symbolism to create an alternative secret society of the imaginary.

Incorporating drawing, collage, sculpture, sound and film, Hayley Lock's practice attempts to capture conversational dialogues across parallel time frames, identities and locations. Often re - staging found and imagined conversations and constructed histories Lock appropriates, re -imagines and mirrors back a pseudo fantastical world where visions are commonplace and imagination is rife, revealing a dark world in perpetual crisis. Lock is currently working with and under hypnosis in an attempt to re-engage with her practice as an altered self, looking at where the unconscious meets the conscious creating new systemic structures of belief.
